After installing newest drivers something like that
was happend (after a few hours work).

Screen is captured and look exactly like live screen.

No, it doesn't, cause you've saved the screenshot as a jpg, which introduces
noticable errors, even at the highest setting. Anyhow, it's good enough to
see the problem you're having.

Look on icons, colors (like 3d blurred). If you try
to move cursor, it leaves a ugly track with drops red
and green.
What is going on ?

Have you by accident enabled ClearType font smoothing, and don't have a LCD
display with horizontally ordered subpixels? The fonts with a red edge on
one side and cyan edge on the other side is exactly what you'd see in this
situation. If so, the solution is simple -- go back to regular font
smoothing (or none at all).

I'm sure jpg is alright. Distorion on picture is the
exactly the same Look link below (Souren on matrox.forum)

Older drivers with Microsoft XP "blessing" solved
the case. Now it's ok like before.

CLeartype works with ordinary CRTs....

I'm using Cleartype with two 17 inch monitors here (one is a SONY200ES, the
other one is a crappy CTX)

Cleartype works best with LCDs, but will *not* output that kind of image on
regular CRTs...

(Running on an AIW Radeon 8500DV as the primary and a G200 as the Secondary)
